Tips for Winning Last Minute Auctions

DealDash auctions

Are you a “last minute” type of person? It’s possible to win an auction last minute, here are some tips from DealDash.

Do you do things at the very last minute? Might some people call you a bit of a procrastinator? Normally, I recommend doing research on the auctions and the bidders you go up against. However, if you’re just naturally a last minute type of person you will enjoy reading these tips that are just for you.

Stick to Low-Value Auctions

Bidding last minute and winning is possible, but it’s doubtful that you will win high-valued items. If bidding last minute is your preferred method, then stick to the low-valued auctions. What do I mean by low-valued? In the DealDash world, things under $200 are considered lower-valued. This doesn’t mean that they aren’t great items or auctions, they are just a lower price.

There are lots of great items that are under $200 such as sheet sets, necklaces, rings, candles, bid packs, purses and laptop bags, and many more things. Just because things are priced lower doesn’t mean that they aren’t good quality, these are nice items that come with manufacturer’s warranties included.

Bid on One of Many

Have you noticed that DealDash offers the same or similar items a few times per day? If you’re in the mood to win a last minute auction, then seek out these items. If there are 2 or more items that are the same or very similar going on at the same time, then you have a better chance of winning one quickly than a highly sought after and rare item.

Try Bidding on Bid Packs

Bid packs are something that every bidder can use, and they come up for auction many, many times per day. Bid packs are great for a quick win because they often end for a low price, therefore ending fairly quickly. You probably could have figured this out on your own, but if you stick to bid packs of 100 or less they will usually end fast. Just click on this link right here and it will take you to all of the current auctions for bid packs.

DealDash Tips: Easy-to-Win Auctions

New players on DealDash.com usually have better luck by looking for auctions that are easy to win.

To identify easy-to-win auctions, look for auctions that have the lowest retail value. Experienced players tend to only bid on the high-dollar items, so the lower the retail value, the lower the competition level might be, also.

Double-click on the auctions with the lowest retail value and look at the closing cost the last nine times that product went up for sale.

After you identify the auctions with the lowest retail value that consistently closes for the least amount of money, it’s time to see what day of the week and what time of day is best.  You can figure this out by looking at these auctions on different days of the week and at different times of the day–morning noon and night.

From my own experience, it appears that competition is usually greater on weekends when more people are off work. The best time of the day to bid, however, often changes. Sometimes the competition appeared to be less late at night. Other times it appeared to be less early in the morning. A few times, I had some great wins at noon when the competition was exceptionally low.

Perhaps it’s just a matter of being in the right auction at the right time.  Therefore, the more times you get on DealDash, the better the chances are that you could be the next lucky winner.

Once you learn how to win low-retail auctions, you will be able to move on to bigger and better wins, but it’s usually best to start out on the low-value products until you develop some winning strategies of your own.

Good luck everyone!

Tips to Stay in the Auction

IN IT TO WIN IT DEALDASH

Finding yourself in a difficult auction happens to all of us sometimes. You have to figure out the best way to stay in the auction. Here are some tips from DealDash.

Are you “In it to win it” when you play in DealDash auctions, or are you just wasting some idle free time? I would guess that you’re “In it to win it” because otherwise, why bother? Being committed to every auction that you enter goes a long way towards winning more auctions. If you need a little bit of help staying in the auction when times get tough, here are some tips to help.

Take a Break

Yes, taking a break might seem counterintuitive, but it can really work well in some cases. If you’re in an auction and have placed a few bids before the $5 No Jumper cut off then you’re safe as long as there are multiple bidders still going at it. If you see that there are over 5 bidders still bidding “hot and heavy” against each other, then I would feel secure in taking a little break. Of course, the joke might be on you and all of them stop bidding at the same time, but when there are at least 5 people bidding it’s unlikely that the auction will end within the next 15-30 minutes. Sometimes you just need to take a little break to clear your head and renew your concentration.

Take a Break (With Your Buddy)

If you don’t feel secure in canceling your bids to take a break, then be sure to load up your BidBuddy with enough bids to reach the BIN (But It Now) price. For example, if you really feel like you need a short break, but there are only 3 bidders bidding then be sure to do it this way. You’d feel terrible if you took a quick bathroom and snack break only to come back and see that someone else won. Be safe, take a break with your best bud – BidBuddy.

Not Too Far In?

How many bids have you spent on this auction thus far? If you’ve spent less than 100 you might want to think about backing out if you’re having a tough time. I know that I can tell when I am definitely not going to win. It’s just a feeling that I get. However, there could be other reasons why you feel like you’re definitely not going to win, such as running low on bids, running out of time to bid before you need to leave your house, or perhaps a new bidder entered the auction that you have dealt with in the past and don’t wish to bid against again. No matter what the reason, there’s no shame in canceling your bids and looking for a different auction. DealDash often offers the same item within a few days of each other, maybe you’ll have more luck in the next one!

DealDash Reviews: Payment System

DealDash.com has the most convenient and fastest payment system I have ever used online.

With all the user-friendly payment options available, I find it very simple to navigate and use the DealDash payment system. To make payments for bid packs, auction wins or Buy-It-Now orders, customers can use PayPal or any major credit card (VISA, Maser Card, American Express or Discover). If I click on Pay Pal, I have the option to “stay logged-in with one-touch” so all of my information will already be there, in case I need to use it again soon.

Best of all, I know that my financial information is also well protected, safe and secure. Only the last four numbers of my bank account and credit card numbers show up, and I must always sign-in with my password.

If I am low on bids while participating in an auction, I might only have a few seconds to purchase and add more bids. When this happens, the speed and ease of making payment transactions can be very important. It could determine whether I win or lose.

This is why I truly appreciate the speed and ease of making payments on DealDash.com.
